Yes indeed, solar gain could well be an issue as Spain is a hot place!

I like this lift, so clean. It doesn't take much space either. I think consideration should be give to future lifts in domestic designs. This opens up more possible usage ..... now that I am approaching my more senior years, i tend to think more about these things ALSO the senior citizen sector of the Western World populations are increasing!

Winning micro-housing design on display in NYC

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s adAPT micro-apartment design competition has a winner! Check it out here, http://www.gizmag.com/winning-micro-housing-design-nyc/25989 Its nothing ground breaking, just good solid adaptation of things that work well.

[Mike Lucey]

...... initially I thought, yes! ..... the no .... then yes again. What do you think? I imagine the question, 'where do I sit?' comes to mind

Design conceived in terms of space and utility, sensei gathers two different objects in one same product, being these, two chairs or a small table. http://claudiosibille.com/sensei.php

Saw the chairs on Gizmag. The first thought I had was only if the floor is truly level. I assume that this is a quick, "impromptu" arrangement. I didn't see any kind of interlock hardware, but I am sure there is something to unitize the work surface.

I think the birdhouse tiles are ill-advised. Again the solar gain problem. Also I'd rather have a built-in elevator. Who wants to see that, much less ride in it (more than once )Rest is looking good!

Just saw this posted on Facebook. Thought someone would like it.

Such fine work.
This is by David Fletcher http://www.dbfletcher.com/
He has designed a few tables like this, mostly I believe for Yachts.
Bloody brilliant.

This project surely deserves a place in this thread - Picture updates on pages 1, 5, 7, 11 and the final product on page 17. I challenge you to make it all the way through without wincing.

OMG! That's all I can say!
